I have the above data displayed as below using this code:

// Get the sum
$group = array();
foreach($rows as $r){
  $group[$r->type] = $group[$r->Type] + $r->Price;
}

// Display
foreach($group as $type=>$price){
  echo "Type:".$type." Price: ".$price;
}

Result: 

Music  | 45.53
Toy    | 93.94
Phones | 189.98

My problem is how to display the data from the array ($group) starting from the second record and also how to display just one record from the array.

Solution

  • Try using array_slice();

    //this will create new array without first element
$new_group = array_slice($group, 1);

    And now iterate over $new_group as before.
